We headed to a recommended spot f0r breakfast - at Drivers Creek. If you want to find any remaining hippies, come here! I spotted a number of cars parked down the road and asked whatthat was. A potter, Barry Brickell, got this 60 acre property some years ago. He started this little railway to get clay and was only to go about 200 metres from the forge. Well, 27 years and 2.6km later is this lovingly built railway. It makes model railroaders' hearts thump. The tracks are all hand laid and the tunnels built lovely murals. the retaining walls are built with old bottles (glad to help!). The train cars are little, but get all the visitors to the amazing views at the top. He has protected the area from things like possums etc and has planted over 17000 native trees. The property, on his death, will go to the conservation authority. Rather amazing.
